Cod à Lagareiro

Cod à Lagareiro is a traditional dish from Portugal, specifically from the Beira Baixa region.
As the name suggests, the cod should be surrounded by plenty of olive oil.
The cod can also be roasted on the grill instead of being cooked in the oven.
Serve this dish with a salad or cooked broccoli rabe.
